The PebbleCreek Ladies Golf Association (PCLGA) Member/Member Tournament on Feb. 28 and March 1 was the Greatest Show on Grass! The weather was just so-so with threats of rainfall that managed to stay in the clouds until tournament completion on Wednesday, but we had our animal crackers to munch on to keep us focused.
The event was played on the Tuscany Falls courses and featured a best ball on one day and a shamble on the other. Each two-person team played the East course one day and the West the other. Each circus-named flight juggled their (golf) games to emerge winners.
